1. HELP! New LPN grads having difficulty finding LPNA/internship positions in Lex area

   MissGwen replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in General Nursing

   If I am not mistaken, in order to bypass the internship this way, the board requires you to have worked 500 hours in the state you are endorsing from. I might be wrong, though.

2. Practice test scores correlate with passing NCLEX?

   MissGwen replied to MissGwen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Thanks. I only did 1400-1500 practice questions. While I was taking the exam and feeling extremely incompetent (lol), I thought, "I should have done more questions. My scores were too low." So much...

3. Practice test scores correlate with passing NCLEX?

   MissGwen replied to MissGwen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I passed. I did the PVT the day I took the exam and got the good pop up. I was going to check my quick results this morning, but my friend sent me a text and said I passed. I got on the boards website...

4. Practice test scores correlate with passing NCLEX?

   MissGwen replied to MissGwen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Tomorrow was the only day available for the next month. I need money, so............ I'm medium, maybe a little more than medium in my confidence. What in the world have I gotten myself into? LOL :)...

5. Practice test scores correlate with passing NCLEX?

   MissGwen posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Hello, I am scheduled for NCLEX-PN tomorrow. I have been taking the practice tests and for the most part, not doing very good on them. How many of you have had poor performance on the practice tests,...

6. ISU: Does it matter where you went to LPN school?

   MissGwen replied to MissGwen's topic in Online Distance Learning

   Update: I called ISU the other day and I told them I was interested in their LPN-BSN program, but I needed some clarification on one thing. So, then I asked if it mattered where you got your LPN from...

7. Lied on...what to do?

   MissGwen replied to NurseNinaFla's topic in General Nursing

   Why wasn't the syringe put in the sharps? I guess the best thing to do is to admit you should not have left it there. Everybody makes mistakes. Own it, learn from it, and move on.

8. ISU: Does it matter where you went to LPN school?

   MissGwen posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

   Hello, I am graduating from LPN school at Galen in Louisville in about a week and a half. I am looking into ISU's LPN-BSN program. I am wondering if they require that you graduated from an NLN...

9. Galen's PAX-RN Test?

   MissGwen replied to wishinguponastarLPN's topic in General Nursing

   I took it a few years ago when I was going to go to another program. I did not study at all and scored in the 89th percentile. From what I remember, it is similar to the ACT. I would think the PCAT...

    MissGwen replied to scaredstudent05's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I might be wrong, but aren't there 240mL in 8oz?

11. Galen College

    MissGwen replied to krltdy's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I was referring to paying some of my tuition out-of-pocket. My tuition - financial aid = a balance. You might get lucky, though! I am not sure how they are doing the payments now. Best to ask...

12. Galen College

    MissGwen replied to krltdy's topic in General Nursing

    Just to let you know, you might have to pay some even though your EFC is 0. Mine was, too, but I had to pay out a nice little chunk of change. So, just be aware of that. If I were you, I would start...

13. Withdraw - I'm really not sure?

    MissGwen replied to tailormade's topic in General Students

    Oh, wow! That is a tough decision to make. A nail biter for sure! It sounds like you have had three exams thus far and have one more "regular" exam to go plus the final, correct? Ok. So, let's see....

14. How do you study for clinical check offs?

    MissGwen replied to bcskittlez's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Practice makes perfect! We do not get kits or dvd's, so I used a baby doll since I am the only human that lives in this place. LOL We just had our first check offs last week and man, I thought I was...

15. What makes more sense...?

    MissGwen replied to jazz_is_my_game's topic in General Students

    It is doable. There are those who commute and make it through. Personally, I would not do it as I would be concerned about traffic, the possibility of car problems, the time it would take away from...
